28th March 2007 - PerX Setup and Maintenance Report now available. An important aspect of the PerX project was to consider the setup and maintenance issues relating to cross-search targets (including OAI-PMH, Z39.50 and non-standard) which were included in the PerX pilot service, and also to attempt to quantify the effort required. This document provides details of the set-up and maintenance effort expended by the PerX team for a 12 month period between March 2006 and February 2007.
